Greg Barclay
Class of 1978
Air Force, 20+ Years
My 22 years in the Air Force were extremely rewarding . My goals in life were to be a pilot and live on a boat. Can't live on a boat in Spokane (camp on our ski boat now and then), but I was able to be an aircraft commander and instructor on a KC-135 (Boing 707) air refueling tanker. Got to see the world over several times, flew in several wars, and probably got shot at refueling over the top of Baghdad, Iraq. Best memories were on my "hardship tour" when I got to spend over 5 years in Hawaii. Wouldn't trade my experience for anything.
